FIELD BOOK OF MAMMALS 



Rabbits in its assumption of a distinct winter pelage. There 

 is a marked difference between the coats of summer and winter 

 and no member of the genus Sylvilagus (Cottontails) displays 

 such seasonal variation. 



This small Rabbit has rather a restricted range and is not 

 found outside of the area which takes in portions of California 

 and Oregon, where they meet with Idaho and Nevada. In 

 searching for the Pigmy Rabbit I have had the best success 

 by looking up the patches of Sagebrush where the yellow 

 Rabbit-brush was conspicuous and then hunting very, very 

 slowly. 



The number of young to a litter is three or four.
